PRO12 Preview: Munster v Connacht

Connacht have won three of their last five fixtures with Munster, but did slip up 9-16 in Galway in round 12.

Last season Connacht won at Thomond Park for the first time since 1986.

Connacht have made the European Champions Cup Play-offs but their only win in the last five rounds of the Guinness PRO12 was at Edinburgh on 7 April.

Munster have secured a home Semi-Final for only the second time in the last seven seasons but if they are to overhaul Leinster to become top seeds they will need a win in this game and hope that their rivals trip up.

The Munstermen have won their last five Guinness PRO12 encounters, whilst their only defeat since round 6 was at home to Scarlets on 24 February.
